Visual elements - The Wizard Of Oz (inspiration to cover artwork), references throughout the EP, including "yellow brick road". My favourite line in the song - "Success is a journey, not a destination. So stop running". Thanks Mum!
lyrics
"I PROMISE.COM"
Tear strained tissues, please don't get me started
Notebooks spiral out of control
One can only sit back. Take a deep breath and ask:
"What the hell was going through your mind?"
(Your mind. You have lost your mind)
Tell me, how did we get here?
It seems strange, but lady luck was on my side
The tide is rising, you hide from nothing
With eyes as wide as mine, thats gotta mean something
(I'm still not where I wanna be). You can cry all you like
Don't take the long way home
You set up a site called "I Promise.Com"
I'll compromise with whatever you have to say
Set your sights on somebody new
(I cant cause she's gone. Already borrowed and blue)
Take some time for it to settle then move on
When its all gone, you'll never know
Time passed by,
Which direction do you wanna go?
To be honest frankly,
I'd rather regret doing something than doing nothing at all
(Hey man! What do you want?!)
Start from the top
Speak your way out, somehow
For the record I will get this straight
Just so you know
I'm not here for much longer
I wanna hear you say
"Don't take too long, I'll give it away"
Stop praying and start saying "START SAYING!"
To yourself, "I'm better than that"
Success is a journey, not a destination
So stop running...
But you're tossing away, my pride.
Can't you see its my loss (at what cost)
Cause you know I'm always, right here if you want me
"I'm right here if you want me"
You set up a site called "I Promise.Com"
I'll compromise with whatever you have to say
Set your sights on somebody new
(I cant cause she's gone. Already borrowed and blue)
Take some time for it to settle then move on
When its all gone, you'll never know (Oh!)
Time just passed you by.
Bye, bye
(Cut the corners, it wont take too long)
This is my last goodbye…
